🍔 Big. Bold. And Proudly Canadian. 🇨🇦 @boardwalkcanada just dropped their new Big 3 Signature Burgers, and let me tell you — it’s 10 ounces of stacked premium Canadian beef that doesn’t hold back. No fillers. No fluff. Just straight-up burger dominance. 🔥

🔥 What makes it different?
• 10oz of bold, juicy beef — the kind that makes napkins necessary
• Built to order, stacked with purpose
• Sourced entirely from local Canadian farms
• Zero gimmicks. All greatness 💪

Which Big 3 are you?
Stack it. Customize it. Crush it. 🍔

🔥 Same Same… but SO different 😍 Just stopped by @samesamethaito — King West’s newest modern Thai gem by Michelin Bib Gourmand Chef @tempofeast and WOW 👏

From bold, vibrant flavours to surprising twists, every dish had a story. Here’s what we tried and loved:

🥗 𝗢𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱 — tender and zesty with Thai herbs, fruits, and a rich coconut cream dressing.
🍗 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 — super crispy with a flavour-packed fish sauce marinade and jeaw sauce.

🐙 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘂𝘀— served on a squid ink ube purée with citrusy notes from calamansi.
🦆 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗗𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗟𝗲𝗴 — melt-in-your-mouth with lotus stems and truffle tom kha sauce, paired with jasmine riceberry.

🍞 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘀 𝗞𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗧𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗲 — sweet, caramelized, and layered with pandan curd and coconut. A perfect ending.

🍸 Every cocktail is crafted around a character… and the 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐤 was sweet, floral, and so fun 🌸 And the 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐤 was deep, smoky, and seriously smooth 🔥

📍303 King St W (across from TIFF)
It’s Thai food — same same, but different. And trust me, you want different 💥
